There’s still no word on the lineup for Coachella 2013, but the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, next in line on the national festival circuit, released its lineup today with Fleetwood Mac, the Black Keys, Frank Ocean, Hall & Oates and Phoenix on the bill.

Highlights this year include Phoenix, who are back on the road supporting a new album, new R&B standout and NOLA native Frank Ocean, blues youngblood Gary Clark Jr., hipster fashion icons Hall & Oates and Fleetwood Mac, The Black Keys, Trombone Shorty, John Mayer (no joke, his blues band is tops), Ben Harper, Jimmy Cliff, Willie Nelson and many more.
